5.7.3Setting the Chassis Date

The 6C105 is year 2000 compliant, so the Chassis Date may be set beyond the year 1999. To set the chassis date, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Chassis Date field.

2.Enter the date in an MM/DD/YYYY format.

NOTE

It is not necessary to add separators between month, day, and year numbers. For example, to set the date to 03/17/1997, type “03171997” in the Chassis Date field.

3.Press ENTER to set the system calendar to the date in the input field.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER.

If the date entered is a valid format, the Event Message Line at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”. If the entry is not valid, Local Management does not alter the current value, but it does refresh the Chassis Date field with the previous value.

NOTE

Upon saving the new chassis date, all interface modules installed in the chassis recognize the new value as the current date.

5.7.4Setting the Chassis Time

To set the chassis clock, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Chassis Time field.

2.Enter the time in a 24-hour format, HH:MM:SS.
